Nestled in the vibrant heart of London at 26 Farringdon Street, Harrild and Sons offers a unique blend of historic charm and contemporary craft. This restaurant is a haven for food lovers and craft beer enthusiasts alike, providing an inviting atmosphere that feels both timeless and trendy. Its distinctive decor, featuring exposed bricks, vintage light bulbs, and brass fittings, sets the perfect scene for a memorable dining experience.

Harrild and Sons is renowned for its impressive craft beer menu, boasting around 15 taps and 100 bottles, making it a paradise for beer aficionados. The American-style menu focuses on seafood, with standout dishes like crispy squid with black garlic mayo and beef dripping chips with green spinach mustard, each bursting with rich flavors and textures. The downstairs speakeasy-style cocktail bar, with its library of bourbons and spirits, offers a curated selection of innovative cocktails, including a highly praised house-made espresso martini featuring a perfect coffee syrup.

This bar is slightly off the beaten track if you don't work in the area, however, this is a great addition to the Farringdon scene.  This bar feels like it would be more at home in Shoreditch than in central London and comes complete with the mandatory exposed bricks, vintage light bulbs and brass fittings.

More importantly, it has one of more impressive craft beer menus I've seen in London with around 15 taps and 100 bottles.  This place could keep you busy for weeks!

Their American style menu seems to focus on seafood and has some great choices.  We went with the crispy squid with black garlic mayo and the beef dripping chips with green spinach mustard.  Fantastic!  I look forward to sampling more of their menu. 

Downstairs they have a speakeasy syle cocktail club, which is another beautifully designed space with a library of bourbans and spirits scattered around the dimly lit bar.  Must check this out on my next visit.

Came here with a large group for a birthday party. We had reserved a space in the funky downstairs bar that we initially had very high hopes for.

Sadly, despite them knowing that we were in a large group of twenty five or so, there was only two bartenders serving the whole bar (so our group, in addition to another thirty or so in the bar). Both were ridiculously busy and rushed off their feet. I don't blame them for being rude - it can't have been nice working in there pretty much solo, but the service was actually pretty poor. The £10 cocktails were served in tiny glasses, were full of ice, and you could barely even taste the alcohol.

I didn't eat but apparently the lobster rolls were super nice, if a very small portion for the price.

Overall, this had the potential to be a really great drinking space, but was totally let down by the staff (or the lack thereof), and the overpriced cocktails/food. I wouldn't come back.

Review based on the cocktail bar downstairs - 

LOVE the decor!  The bar is beautiful!  The way the liquor is stacked behind the bar is like a library.  They have a fantastic drink menu.  I mean it's like 10-12 pages long!  They house make a lot of their drink syrups and have some really exciting combinations.  I settled on an espresso martini :)  it was the best one I've had!  I'm so sick of those gross Bailey's martinis - this was a TRUE espresso cocktail!  They house make a coffee syrup that is perfection!  Great cocktail bar! And I've head the bar upstairs is great with a ton of draft beers!

My only complaint was how loud it was in there - it was really hard to have a conversation!

Beautiful looking bar in a traditional-style high-ceilinged space which they make the most of by having the bar counter in the centre. The exposed brickwork and low-hanging lights give it a bit of edge, making it a little different to other nearby city boozers. The facade doesn't give much away from the street though, and had I not been led here on a work outing to find a new drinking hole, I'd still have no idea it was there.

One of its main calling cards is the mahoosive craft beer menu, with plentiful choices on tap and more by the bottle. We'd reserved an area and I happily went with the pale ale that was arriving by the bucket. It was the area right in the corner and thus a strange shape that wasn't ideal for group chat, so we spread out towards the bar counter too.

The slight let-down was the bar food - I wasn't expecting fine dining but we ordered some platters of mini beef and chicken burgers. Whilst the fillings (and accompanying chips) were tasty enough the actual burger buns were rock hard - I think overbaked rather than stale - which made them difficult to bite into. Defo not ideal when you're chatting to your boss's boss.

Decent atmosphere for after work drinks but there's a lot of competition in this space - one thing I'd make an effort to go back for though is the sexy-looking cocktail bar downstairs that I caught a glimpse of on the way to the loo...
